141    <h2><abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition Module</h2>
142    
143    <p>The <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, version 3.0,
144    consists of three interfaces:</p>
145    <ul>
146    <li><a href="#DocumentXDoctype"><code>DocumentXDoctype</code></a></li>
147    <li><a href="#DocumentTypeDefinition"><code>DocumentTypeDefinition</code></a></li>
148    <li><a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a></li>
149    <li><a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a></li>
150    </ul>
151    
152    <p>In addition, it modifies interfaces
153    <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>,
154    <a href="#DocumentType"><code>DocumentType</code></a>,
155    <a href="#Entity"><code>Entity</code></a>,
156    <a href="#EntityReference"><code>EntityReference</code></a>,
157    <a href="#Notation"><code>Notation</code></a>, and
158    <a href="#ProcessingInstruction"><code>ProcessingInstruction</code></a>.</p>
159    
160    <div class=section id=features>
161    <h3>Feature Name</h3>
162    
163    <p>In a <abbr>DOM</abbr> implementation that supports the version 3.0 of
164    the <abbr>DOM</abbr> Document Type Definition module, the
165    <code>hasFeature</code> method of a <code>DOMImplementation</code> object
166    <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return <code>true</code> when the parameters are
167    set to <code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code> and
168    <code>3.0</code> respectively.</p>
169    
170    <p>In such an implementation, the <code>getFeature</code> method of a
171    <code>Document</code> object <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> return the (at least
172    conceptually) same object implementing the
173    <a href="#DocumentXDoctype"><code>DocumentXDoctype</code></a> interface when
174    the parameters are set to
175    <code>http://suika.fam.cx/www/2006/feature/XDoctype</code> and
176    <code>3.0</code> respectively.  Likewise, any method that takes one or more
177    feature names with or without version number, including the methods
178    <code>hasFeature</code> and <code>getFeature</code>,
179    <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> behave in a manner consistent with the
180    aforementioned cases.</p>
181  </div>  </div>
182    
183    <div class=section id=section-node>
184    <h3>Modifications to the <code id=Node>Node</code> Interface</h3>
185    
186    <p>The implementation of the
187    <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface
188    <em class=rfc2119>MUST</em> be modified as following:</p>
189    <pre class=idl><code>// Additions to the Node interface
190    
191    // Additions to the NodeType definition group
192    const unsigned short <a href="#ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE">ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE</a> = 81001;
193    const unsigned short <a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE">ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</a> = 81002;
194    </pre>
195    
196    <p>This specification adds two new types (subinterfaces) of
197    <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a>: element type definition (node type
198    <a href="#ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ELEMENT_TYPE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>,
199    interface
200    <a href="#ElementTypeDefinition"><code>ElementTypeDefinition</code></a>) and
201    attribute definition (node type
202    <a href="#ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE"><code>ATTRIBUTE_DEFINITION_NODE</code></a>,
203    interface
204    <a href="#AttributeDefinition"><code>AttributeDefinition</code></a>).  For
205    these kinds of nodes, methods and attributes in the
206    <a href="#Node"><code>Node</code></a> interface must behave as following:</p>
